Hey you know the story, right? About 30 years ago some friends started cruising their cool cars for coffee and donuts on Saturday mornings in Huntington Beach, California. After a while other car clubs and people were starting to participate as well and after a few decades the low key get together has morphed into one of the coolest weekly hot rod happenings that draws people from all around at daybreak.

Everyone rolls in super early and they all roll out by the time the businesses in the shopping plaza begin so their customers are not stuck in a log jam of cool old cars and hot rods. We dream of stuff like that but so called “normal” people get annoyed and the goal here is to be a cool neighbor and keep this event cooking for another couple dozen years, if not more. From the polished and shined up to Buicks that look straight out of a barn this one brings hot rodders of all stripes together.
